5. Assertion (A) : The difference in the geomorphic features of different areas of the earth’s surface are known as areal differentiation. Reason (R) : This definition of geography is based on interrelation, differential character and areal expression of different phenomena. Codes

6. Erosion of soil by a river mainly depends upon

7. Assertion (A) : Straight slope is a type recognized by W. Penck. Reason (R) : Straight slope develops due to increasing intensity of erosion. Codes

8. Assertion (A) : Graben is a major relief feature resulting from the faulting activities. It is, in fact, a valley or narrow trough bounded by one more parallel faults. Reason (R) : Block of the earth’s crust may be relatively raised or lowered between more or less parallel faults. The lower part known as graben is formed due to the subsidence of middle part between two normal faults. Codes

13. Alluvial cone is

14. Assertion (A) : The most important single agent of physical weathering is the freeze / that action of water in open spaces in rock. Reason (R) : Repetition is the key to understanding the force of frost shattering. Codes

15. Consider the following land form characteristics:
1. Stream divides are sharp and ridge like resulting in a minimum of inter stream uplands.
2. Extensive areas are at of near the base level of erosion.
3. There are a few consequent trunk streams but few large tributaries. Numerous short tributaries and gullies are extending themselves by head ward erosion and developing valley systems. Which one of the following is the orderly sequence of landform characteristics given above in an idealized Fluvial Cycle?

20. Consider the following statements:
1. Weathering encompasses a group of processes by which surface and subsurface rocks disintegrate.
2. Extreme dryness reduces most weathering to a minimum.
3. Physical weathering dominates in drier and cooler climates.
4. In equatorial rain-forest climate, most rocks weather slowly. Which of these are correct?

21. Assertion (A) : Aksai Chin is desolate and the driest part of the Ladakh region. Reason (R) : The whole area bears a stamp of excessive Aeolian erosion. Codes

22. The drainage pattern developed on folded sedimentary rocks is termed as

23. Which one of the following statements regarding a Fiord are correct?
